When the morning sun shines gently into the room through the thin curtains with the first ray of sunlight
The warm yellow light gently caresses my hazy sleepy eyes
slightly open eyes
What comes into view is the soft light
not dazzling at all
The Erhai Lake in the morning light has golden-red ripples under the rising sun
Along with the waves, the waves gently slapped the gravel on the shore and made waves
Lying on the bed, I stretch out my hand to face the direction of the light
Trying to catch the silky smooth soft sun
Yet those silky rays of light are like playful children
Swipe like flowing water
Slipping away silently through the fingers
came
without leaving a trace
Impression - Morning of Dali
The noon sun is no longer as soft and delicate as a newborn in the morning
The sun is like a proud bull
Show off like the whole world exudes a hot and strong light
scorching sun
The air is filled with steam from the lake under the scorching sun
It seems a little stuffy and it seems a little dry
sweat profusely
at this moment
just want a cold drink
Sitting in the shade by the Erhai Lake doing nothing, quietly looking at the pool of blue
look at the wind on the lake
Bringing the lake water to set off waves
but also the wind
How many Yi Ren's long hair have been blown away
How many seductive skirts are blown up
Impression - Noon of Dali
time passes quietly
The sun is no longer as strong as it was at noon
Gives people more of a warm feeling
Take care of you gently like a parent
It is a kind of warmth that makes people happy
It's a reassuring warmth
sitting on a boat
The waves swayed slowly with the hull
Like a child sleeping in a mother's rocking cradle
Silly looking at the dim incandescent lamp is like the sunshine at this moment
The warm yellow light is so gentle
so warm
The gentle lake breeze is like a mother's silky hands caressing her face
With the soft crooning of the waves like a lullaby
Erhai Lake
For Dali people
Isn't it their mother?
with her warm and gentle embrace
raising that person
Impression - Twilight of Dali
When the sky gradually becomes dark
The entire Erhai Lake seems to have lost the hustle and bustle of the day
The lake breeze blows gently at night
The waves still lap the shore tirelessly
Insects are playing softly in the grass
Gentle footsteps broke into the messy grass like uninvited guests
A drop of dew carried by footsteps may hit some humming insect and interrupt its performance
The rustling sound in the quiet night
Like lovers clinging to each other in the dark whispering to each other's ears
Everything is so close but it seems unreal
forget where you are
forget where you want to go
it's completely dark
The stars in the sky began to playfully wink at the people on the ground
Standing on the balcony outside the room
Looking at the stars
The sky full of stars seems to make people a little dizzy
that's all
standing there blankly
This is the magic of the stars
Let people forget everything in the world
In that illusory and ethereal space
just stand there
now
The wind is still blowing gently
The waves still caress the shore
Insects still sing softly
but me
Already lost in this vast and deep starry sky
Impression - Dali Night
One weekend, after a busy week of documentary filming in Yunnan, I finally had a free weekend to take a good rest. It’s the first time I’ve met such a kind and enthusiastic customer. He said that after a hard week, let us spend a relaxing weekend in Yunnan before returning to Chengdu. With the customer’s enthusiastic suggestions and arrangements, we finally decided to shoot the documentary in Dali, which is nearby. Spend this leisurely weekend getaway.
Cars are driving on the winding mountainous roads in Yunnan. May is a busy season in Yunnan. The farmlands around Dali are filled with water, and the hardworking farmers are preparing to plant rice. The pure blue of the sky is reflected in the water fields, and occasionally a white cloud floats in the reflection, which is suddenly broken by the ripples stirred up by the muddy feet in the field. Clusters of seedlings are inserted into the field, just like treating their own children, so gentle and careful. A group of children are playing and chasing and fighting on the field ridge, and the figures of the children who are not to be outdone by the puppies are playing and chasing. The fresh air is mixed with the smell of soil, the green grass on the roadside is strenuously printed with the sun and strung up, the little flower proudly raises its head to the sun, swaying gently with the wind, it seems to be friendly to passers-by wave. In Yunnan in May, everything is full of vitality.
After a 2-hour drive, I finally arrived in Dali. The last time I went to Dali seemed to be 5 years ago. I still remember that time when I took a ghost girl to ride a bicycle on the side of the road under the scorching sun. I was so hot that I didn’t know anything. I just remember that the Huoshaoyun in the sky is very beautiful. Time really passed too fast, and it disappeared after 5 years, and Dali, which has been praised for five years, seems to be a little strange to me. Hotels and inns have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there are many more tourists than before. Of course, the Cangshan Erhai and the sunshine in Dali are still the same!
Dali, here I come again~~!
At noon, I came to the hotel arranged by the client, the Shuiyun Huajian Resort Hotel located on the seaside of Xizhou Town. Before coming to Dali, a client asked me if I wanted to live in a quieter place or a lively place. After thinking about it for a while, I'm no longer younger than I was when I was old, so let's find a quiet place to rest. So I helped me arrange this hotel by the Erhai Sea. The appearance of the blue and white theme looks clean and tidy
There are a lot of flowers planted on the edge of the terrace at the entrance, it should be nice to sit on the edge of the terrace and bask in the sun.
It seems to give people a feeling of facing the sea and spring flowers blooming
After entering the hotel, the staff told me at the beginning that the client arranged this room for me, and they were shocked when they saw me. Although Brother Mao often shoots movies and runs outside, he basically lives in some kind of business hotel. Sometimes he has even stayed in a guest house in the worst place. This seems a bit too exaggerated to me, haha. It's not Cat's style at all.
It seems a bit exaggerated to live in this room alone. I quietly asked the waiter about the price of the room. It seems that it is not cheap. Although it was arranged by the customer, it still feels a bit too exaggerated. Next time, if you bring a ghost girl to live with you This room is almost the same. So tell the staff to change rooms to be low-key.
In the end, it was changed to this room, which made my conscience a little better. Although it was a customer treat, it was not easy to make it so exaggerated. Love the blue and white in this room, like the colors of the Greek Aegean. The furnishing of the room is quite exquisite, and the Erhai Lake is outside the window, which is actually pretty good. In fact, this is the first time that Brother Mao lives in such a western-style room, and the ghost girl is not there. The room where I spent my honeymoon with the ghost girl didn't seem to have the western style of this room. . . Why
..
..........
There is a huge bathtub next to the window, and it feels a bit like counting the stars in the bathtub at night. . .
As soon as the things were put away, the waiter delivered freshly washed nectarines. A little surprise, the service of this hotel seems to be pretty good. The nectarines are very fresh and crunchy, and they are better than the ones bought in Panzhihua a while ago.
The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel present a very beautiful landscape picture through the glass frame.
Settled things in the hotel, and started today's trip around the Erhai Lake. Take a boat to Yuji Island where Shuanglang is now located. There is more flashy, but less simplicity. Shuanglang, the mysterious place mentioned in many travel notes and guides, decided to look for it again today.
Drive slowly from the hotel along the narrow Huanhai Road. The scenery along the way is actually the same. The Erhai Lake is on the right side of the road, and the rice fields filled with water are on the left side. Not far from the hotel to the north is a place called Haitong Park. Park the car for ten yuan and you can go in and walk around. In fact, the scenery is similar to the outside. I don’t know if it’s because of the season or what. There are many snails dead on the water bank of Haitong Park. Although the scenery is still good, it is blown by the wind. The stench coming from here still makes people want to escape from this place as soon as possible.
I don't know whose bicycle is parked on the shore alone. Perhaps, this is also a kind of waiting.
Actually, I like the photo of the back
Walking along the Huanhai Highway in the direction of Shuanglang, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the hot air at noon made people feel a little suffocated, so they could only keep drinking water to lower their temperature. This is the Erhai Lake at noon. This is the case in Yunnan, where it is extremely cold in the morning and evening, and when the sun is bright at noon, it is hotter than summer in Chengdu. The scorching ultraviolet rays of the sun bombard the skin mercilessly. Under such strong sunlight, if you don’t have sunscreen, half an hour in the sun can make you peel off a layer of skin the next day.
In Dali, the scorching sun is at noon. The most suitable thing to do is to find an exquisite small cafe on the Erhai Lake. The small courtyard is under the shade of trees without direct sunlight, which seems to isolate the surroundings into two worlds. Sitting on the deck chair, the flowers blooming all around look so delicate and charming in the sun. My favorite music is playing in the earphones, I am flipping through the book in my hand, and I have a glass of cool drink, and I sip it down, it is so cold. It was a bowl of shaved ice powder. . .
After dawdling along the way, they still came to Shuanglang Town, where the sun was still shining. There are so many tourists in Shuanglang during the day that traffic control is implemented at the entrance of the town, and vehicles are not allowed to enter the town. There are many parking lots on both sides of the road outside the town, and the fee for parking a car is 20 yuan, so basically every parking lot is full. It seems that Shuanglang is really famous, and there are too many people here.
Not far away are Yuji Island and Nanzhao Customs Island
I like this blue, pure blue without any impurities. The pure white clouds floated in the air like soft cotton, tumbling, constantly changing various shapes. The blue lake water is faintly printed with sky blue and a trace of white. The air is still hot, and the lake wind is still strong.
I happened to meet this cute little guy by the lake. His cute eyes can make people cute. For the first time, I found that the donkey is also very clingy. When you walk into it, it will approach you actively, and then let you touch its head and lick your hand. The hair on the donkey's body is not as thick as expected, but soft, especially the hair on the two ears, which is fluffy and very comfortable to the touch. Wherever you go, it will follow you, put its head against your hand, as if begging you to feed it a carrot.
tease tease
Hey hey hey, take another selfie,
At the Erhai Lake in the afternoon, many people swim in it. I don’t know if there is a rule not to swim. It's a pity that I didn't know that I didn't bring swimming trunks this time, otherwise I guess I would jump in and swim around.
The sun gradually turned to the west, and we slowly wandered to the town of Shuanglang. I don't know if I didn't go to the right place or what, but Shuanglang is completely different from what I expected. The narrow and chaotic streets, dilapidated small buildings, and the legendary town full of petty bourgeoisie feel completely different.
Old buildings, complicated wires, narrow alleys, blooming flowers, and of course soft sunlight, it turns out that here is the Shuanglang
There are too many such alleys in Shuanglang, which make people get lost. In the distance, the Erhai Lake reflecting the golden sunset scatters the sparkling light. A narrow alley is sandwiched between two mottled old walls, and children are playing and playing in the alley in the sunshine. A lazy puppy lay dozing in front of the old house. A few tourists who broke in from time to time took pictures with their cameras. From the walls of the old houses, unknown flowers raised their heads arrogantly, facing the sun, the golden sunlight outlined a bright golden edge on the petals, and the tender green leaves reminded us all the time. Here we are full of exuberant vitality.
I like this blue, pure blue, spotless and pure
Going to Yuji Island, you can see many such small bars and small inns. The tunes are pretty much the same. It's nothing more than waiting for those idiotic men and women who are full of anticipation to have a wonderful encounter here. Encounter a beautiful memory.
The sun is gradually starting to set. Because the atmosphere filters out the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight, the sunlight has slowly turned golden yellow at this time. Sitting on a small boat, I can see the houses on the shore slowly being smudged by the sunlight. There was a faint yellow light. At this time, the sun is no longer so dazzling, and the air is no longer so hot. Looking at the sun that is about to set, it is a warm feeling, soft sunshine.
I love the light under the sunset the most, the whole world is dyed golden. That yellow orange warm feeling. That makes people feel happy. It turns out that the sunset at Erhai Lake is so beautiful.
The beauty of the sunset is always short-lived, the night falls so quickly, the Erhai Lake seems to be quiet all at once without sunlight. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, the temperature is no longer as hot as the day, but feels a bit cold under the lake wind. The stars in the sky began to twinkle and twinkle. The light pollution of Erhai Lake is still relatively serious. The lights and street lamps in the distance make many stars submerged in this artificial light and shadow.
After returning to the hotel slowly along the road around the lake, the water, clouds and flowers at night are already brightly lit. . .
Bright lobby feels like coming home
Go back to the room, put a tub of water, take a bath, and soak away the exhaustion and dust all over your body
It was late at night, and there were stars outside the window. The light pollution at this time seemed to be much better than before, and there were many more stars that could be seen. The whole world seemed to have quieted down. Quiet enough to hear your own breathing and heartbeat. Quiet enough to feel subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Under the action of the wind, the lake still pats on the shore tirelessly, dogs bark occasionally from distant villages, and insects are still singing softly in the grass. Standing in front of this window, looking up at the starry sky, the lake breeze caresses your face. The heart is quiet, there is no complicated thoughts, no pressure, no burden, no worries, nothing, this night, only myself, and the beautiful Erhai Lake under the starry sky.
In the early morning, the indigo sky is slowly dyed purple by the red below the horizon. Lying on the big bed, I saw the purple sky outside the window with sleepy eyes. In a daze, a bright spot appeared from the mountain top in the distance. The sunlight, through the thin curtains, turned on the light for the room so softly and warmly. The water splashes on the lake reflected the sunlight and formed sparkling projections on the ceiling. Lying on the bed, looking at the sun above the head, I suddenly couldn’t tell where I was, as if I was at the bottom of the water.
Get up, take a shower, and a new day begins in the sunshine.
A bowl of authentic Yunnan bait silk, the taste of bait silk for breakfast today is a bit strange, not as QQ as noodles, nor as springy as rice noodles, it feels a bit glutinous. It may not be used to it at first. Sauerkraut and roasted pork are very tasty.
After breakfast, sitting on the Erhai Lake to rest, the feeling of being in a daze is actually quite good. The lazy sun shines on the body, warm. Make a cup of tea, half-closed your eyes, on the small table, there is a novel that someone has read quietly.
The telescope by the window is a good place to watch the stars at night. For the first time, I saw Saturn's magnificent rings here.
Going to the ancient city, under the sun, I suddenly had an illusion. The flowers all over the street made me feel like I was in Chiang Mai. It's just that the music played by those tambourine shops on the street seemed to bring me back to Lijiang. . . Hehe, here is the same as Lijiang, the tambourine shops all over the street are still playing that song repeatedly... for a moment... can you change it to something new...
In fact, the feeling of Dali Ancient City is cleaner than Shuanglang, and there are still many tourists. There are a lot of small shops. In fact, the feeling of Lijiang is quite similar, but it is not as over-commercialized as Lijiang is now.
Sufficient sunlight makes this a paradise for succulents, and there are all kinds of succulents everywhere.
In fact, I like the ancient city of Dali a lot. Compared with the over-development of Lijiang, it is relatively better here.
Although a weekend is short, it is still great to have a good vacation in this sunny place during the busy schedule. I like this kind of leisure time, without the pressure of work and the troubles of life. Be quiet and slow down too. In this warm and sunny place, look for and savor carefully. The Dali that belongs to you, the Erhai Lake that belongs to you.
The weekend was short, and the weather was still so good on the plane back to Chengdu. Suddenly looking up, I saw a beautiful sun halo hanging outside the hanging window.
still remember
In the morning light, the soft sunlight wakes me up from sleep
Under the scorching sun, the intoxicating lake breeze caresses my face
In the sunset, the golden light enveloped me softly
Under the starry sky, under the mysterious sky, let me get lost here
Goodbye, beautiful Dali
Goodbye, intoxicating Erhai Lake
